For my Marisa Kirisame costume, I needed a prop, otherwise I’d just seem like some maid in a witch hat walking around. It’s kind of embarrassing to me if I don’t have some sort of prop to distract from the fact I’m a crossplayer (My jaw really screws it up, I’ll never get to be a decent trap), so I have to go for props that are…well, loud.

This Hakkero in all honesty was a last minute thing. I’ve never actually finished it, but I’m leaving as it is now since I’m retiring it. So without further adieu…

This was basically what I started with. A headlamp in a wooden cut out. I knew there were going to be positioning issues, so I eventually made some spacers.

I don’t have many in progress pictures unfortunately. It was a rush to make it. This is with the sides and front panels placed on. As you can see, nothing’s centered. Again, rushed. (DON’T RUSH PROPS!)

WOOD GLUE. >:C

Totally behind on everything. Day of the convention, it was almost finished.

Overall, it turned out better than it could have. Didn’t finish it until the day of the convention, as shown.

Much better than it could have.

Ingredients:

One 55 watt 6600k Apexcone D2S HID kit (Ballast, bulb, connector)

One 12v Relay, hooked up in Push On

One momentary push button switch (From an arcade claw machine from old job)

Approximately one 4’x4′ sheet of wood (I actually don’t remember, this was 4 years ago)
